IDF Spoke: Don't Be Too Fast to Declare 'Intifada'

Spokesman Yoav Mordechai of the Israel Defense Forces rejected, Friday morning, talk about the declaration of a third intifada uprising among residents of the Palestinian Authority, against the backdrop of a recent escalation in violent confrontations in Judea and Samaria. Writing on his Facebook page, the brigadier general said, "Prophecy is for fools and I don't know what the day will bring. But isn't responsibility and caution needed when declaring an intifada in advance?"
